Erie police charge city man in more vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles in city
An Erie man charged earlier this month with stealing a sport-utility vehicle and damaging another vehicle in a January break-in is now accused of stealing two more vehicles in the city, along with a gun taken from a vehicle.
Raezharion S. Noble, 20, is now being held on bonds totaling $120,500 following his recent arraignments on charges in four criminal cases filed by the Erie police. Those cases were filed after Noble was initially charged by Erie police on Feb. 5 with stealing a Mitsubishi Outlander from the 2600 block of Chestnut Street on the early morning of Jan. 22 and driving it to another location in the city, where police accuse him of breaking into another vehicle and stealing items from it before later abandoning the stolen SUV.
Noble had been in the Erie County Prison on 10% of $5,000 bond in the initial case before the new sets of charges were filed against him.

City police detectives accuse Noble in the new cases of stealing a firearm from a vehicle in the 900 block of East Eighth Street on Dec. 13; stealing a 2009 Hyundai Sonata from the 600 block of West Fifth Street before abandoning it in another part of the city on Dec. 21; and stealing a Volkswagen Tiguan in the 1100 block of Atkins Street on Jan. 11 before abandoning it in another part of the city. Investigators said the Volkswagen's keys were taken from another vehicle parked near it, and cash was also taken from the other vehicle.
Detectives additionally accuse Noble of attempting to enter three vehicles parked in the 600 block of West Fifth Street and two vehicles and a garage in the 800 block of Poplar Street on the early morning of Jan. 29.
Investigators said they identified Noble as a suspect in all of the crimes through surveillance video and evidence collected during a police search of his residence on Feb. 5.
